一 我心感覺與主耶穌每日更加親近,
祂比黎明燦爛金色榮光更加明艷;
祂就是我所追求的一切幻想美夢,
祂一天比一天更加美麗、芬芳、甘甜。
(副)一半、也猜想不到,金色海岸那邊;
那日我主比以前更加美麗,更甘甜。
二 當我遠遠見主祂的榮光向我照耀,
祂比晨星更明亮,比百合花更鮮艷;
祂使我渴慕的心靈得著滋潤滿足,
祂一天比一天更加美麗、芬芳、甘甜。
三 我心雖有時沉重,祂卻帶來甘甜愛,
當我挫敗而喪氣,祂卻擁我入祂懷;
祂如此擔我重負,我心怎不將祂戀,
祂一天比一天更加美麗、芬芳、甘甜。
1. To Jesus ev'ry day I find my heart is closer drawn;
He's fairer than the glory of the gold and purple dawn;
He's all my fancy pictures in its fairest dreams, and more;
Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before.
Refrain
The half cannot be fancied this side the golden shore;
Oh, there He'll be still sweeter than He ever was before.
2. His glory broke upon me when I saw Him from afar;
He's fairer than the lily, brighter than the morning star;
He fills and satisfies my longing spirit o'er and o'er,
Each day He grows still sweeter than He was the day before.
3. My heart is sometimes heavy, but He comes with sweet relief;
He folds me to His bosom when I droop with blighting grief;
I love the Christ who all my burdens in His body bore;
Each day He grows still sweeter then He was the day before.
